Ezekiel 37:1–14; John 20:19–23 Whenever we pick up the Bible, read it, put it down, and say, "That's just what I thought," we are probably in trouble. The technical term for that kind of reading is "proof-texting." Using the text to confirm our presuppositions is sinful; it is an act of resistance against God's fresh speaking to us, an effective de…

2 Samuel 6:1-11; Luke 8:40-48 We do not invite the text into a transformation of its original meaning, into a new application geared toward our thought forms; rather, the text invites us into a transformation of allegiances and commitments, which will manifest itself in behaviors appropriate to our social worlds. - Joel Green, "Practicing the Gospe…

Daniel 5 Luke 20:5-19 Our understanding does not seamlessly conform to God's reality, and instruction that suggests otherwise inevitably distorts the truth.
